A Short History of Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce - by Massimo Montanari (Hardcover)

The book "A Short History of Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce" is a fascinating journey through the origins and evolution of one of Italy's most iconic dishes.

Montanari debunks the myth of a single moment that can explain everything, instead showing how historical phenomena develop dynamically through encounters and combinations that are often unexpected.

By tracing the history of spaghetti from Asia to America, Africa to Europe, and from the beginning of agriculture to the 20th century, Montanari reveals how our identities are shaped by interactions with other cultures, peoples, and traditions.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in food history, cultural identity, or simply enjoying a delicious plate of spaghetti.
